Maintenance
Schedule
Tire Rotation and
Required Services Every
12 000 km (7,500 mi)
Tires are rotated to achieve a
more uniform wear for all tires.
The first rotation is the most
important.
Anytime unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as
soon as possible, check for
proper tire inflation pressure,
and check for damaged tires
or wheels. If the unusual wear
continues after the rotation,
check the wheel alignment.
See When It Is Time for New
Tires0394 and
Wheel Replacement 0399.
.Perform Multi-Point Vehicle
Inspection. See Multi-Point
Vehicle Inspection (MPVI)
0431.
.Lubricate body components.
See Exterior Care 0416.

Every 12 000 km (7,500 mi)
.Check the engine oil level
and oil life percentage.
If needed, change engine the
oil and filter, and reset oil the
life system. Or when the
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message displays, have the
engine oil and filter changed
within the next 1 000 km/
600 mi. If driven under the
best conditions, the engine
oil life system may not
indicate the need for vehicle
service for up to a year. The
engine oil and filter must be
changed at least once a year
and the oil life system must
be reset. Your trained dealer
technician can perform this
work. If the engine oil life
system is reset accidentally,
service the vehicle within
5 000 km/3,000 mi since the
last service. Reset the oil life system when the oil is
changed. See Engine Oil Life
System
0348.
.When the REPLACE AT
NEXT OIL CHANGE
message displays, the engine
air filter should be replaced
at the next engine oil
change. When the REPLACE
ENGINE AIR FILTER SOON
message displays, the engine
air filter should be replaced
at the earliest convenience.
Reset the engine air filter life
system after the engine air
filter is replaced. See Engine
Air Filter Life System 0349.
Every 36 000 km (22,500 mi)
.Replace the passenger
compartment air filter. Or
every 24 months, whichever
comes first. More frequent
passenger compartment air
filter replacement may be
needed if driving in areas
with heavy traffic, poor air
quality, high dust levels,
or environmental allergens.
